SAMUEL GUI-IN, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

NECKTIE-DISPLAY STAND.

Application filed February 29, 1924.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, SAMUEL Conn, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at New York city, New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in NecktieDisplay Stands, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates generally to display devices and has specific reference to a display stand for neckwear.

The principal object of the invention is to provide a compact device of this character adapted to support a number of cravats, say two, in tied condition on collars, and an additional number of cravats, untied, and draped in display position in proximity to the others, an advantage of a construction of this kind is that the prospective purchaser may see the cravat in tied as well as in open condition.

The invention is illustratively exemplified in the accompanying drawings, in which, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved display stand showing neckties in display positions; Figure 2 is a plan view of the device; and Figure 3 is a substantially transverse sectional view of the stand taken on the lines 3-3 of Figure 2.

Referring to the drawings, 10 denotes a base member having an upright post 11 provided at its upper end with a reduced cylindrical projection 12.

The projection 12 is adapted to be received by a socket 13 which supports the display head 14: of the device, and which comprises a tubular member open at its lowor end to admit the projection 12 and attached at its upper end to the head 14. The tubular member is provided with a threaded opening in its wall adjacent the lower end thereof to receive a set screw 15 which is adjustable against the adjacent surface of the projection 12 to hold the stand and head portions together.

The head 14: comprises a cylindrical shell divided into halves 16 and 17, each half consisting of a semi-cylindrical portion spaced from the other to provide a straight channel 18, which bisects the head 14. The parts 16 and 17 are shaped up from thin metal and the straight sides are closed by walls 19, each wall being bent outwardly at right angles to the plane of the wall along its free lower edge to form a flange 20, as clearly illustrated in Figure 3. The peripheral walls of the head project below the plane of Serial No. 695,883.

the flanges 20 and are provided with a finishing bead about the edges.

Disposed in the channel 18 and attached to the flanges 20 are two parallel bars 21 which lit closely between the adjacent walls 19 and project from end to end thereof, the portions of the bars projecting beyond the head 14: being forked to provide substantially parallel arms 22 upon which neekties may be draped for display purposes. Adjacent their outer ends the arms are provided with upright pegs 23 to prevent the goods from slipping ofi of the supports.

Projecting upwardly from the bars 21 at op posite ends of the channel 18 are display cards posts 2 1 comprising straight bars provided with aligned slots 24 at their upper ends to receive a display card 25. The bars are substantially smaller in transverse sec tion than the width of the channel 18 so as to allow ample room for the collar and tie to be inserted between the adjacent walls of the bars and walls 19, as illustrated in Figure 1.

Additional support for the head is provided by means ofradially disposed bars 26 which are attached at their ends to the opposite inner faces of the walls of the halves 16 and 17, and which are arranged so as to project 90 from each of the parallel rods or bars 21 and channel 18.

In order to facilitate packing, the tubular socket 13 is provided with oppositely extending lateral flanges 27 which are separably attached to the under surfaces of the flanges 20 and bars 21 by means of screws 28 adjustable through openings in the flanges 27 and bars 21.

In use the display stand is assembled as indicated in Figure 1, with collars and ties arranged on opposite sides of the head, back of each collar being inserted in the channel 18 and then bent about the curved wall of the part 16 or 17. The fronts of the collars are then attached and the ties knotted in the usual manner, i. e. as the tie would appear when being worn. A suitable number of ties may be draped over the arms of the forks 22, so that selection of any particular pattern is made easy for the salesman or customer.

What I claim is 1. A display stand, comprising a cylindrical head portion split vertically into a plurality of segments and arms projecting from between the segments.

2. A display stand, as claimed in claim 1, in which the segments comprise semicylindrical halves separated from each other to form a channel, said arms comprising parallel bars disposed in the said channel and forked at their ends, and an upright supporting standard for the head.

8. A display stand as claimed in claim 1 in which the curved portions of said segments are surfaces generated by a vertical line moving perpendicular to itself.

4:. In a display stand, the combination of a stand and a display head portion, the

latter com arisino' a c lindrical shell divided 7 (D into halves having their straight walls adjacent each other to form a channel, parallel bars disposed in said channel having their opposite ends splayed beyond the said head, upright pegs at the ends of said bars, and

means supported on said bars at opposite ends of the channel to hold adisplay card.

5. A display stand, comprising a head portion having a flat top surface and a side surface generated by a straight vertical line moving perpendicular to itself, said head portion being split vertically into a plurality of segments, and arms projecting from between said segments.

(3. A display stand, as claiinet in claim 5 in which said segments comprise a top of sheet material constituting part of said top surface, and depending sides of similar material, a portion of the sides constituting part of said side surface.

ture.
